Abstract
An instrument set for connecting vertebral bodies, comprising a screw which can be screwed into a pedicle, a head piece which can be connected polyaxially to the screw for coupling to a rod system and which has a sleeve-shaped tulip having an opening for insertion of the screw head in an insertion direction, and a tool, is developed. The head piece has a saddle in the tulip, with a receiving region for receiving the screw head in a first end region that faces the opening and a coupling region that can be coupled to the tool in a second end region opposite the receiving region. The saddle can be moved between a released position and a locked position. In the locked position, the screw head cannot be disengaged from the receiving region, and the saddle can be fixed in a released position.
